Peace, Love, and Learning!

Happy 2012-2013 School Year!!!

Yes, I'll admit, I've been MIA in the blogging world over the past few months (especially these past few weeks!), BUT now that school is up and running, and I've finally had a chance to sit down and take a few deep breaths, I'm SO excited to get my fingers typing my blog posts onces again!!! :)

So, I figured a fitting first "back to school" post would be just a short one about our school-wide "theme" this year: Peace, Love, and Learning! It's super cute, and our whole campus is decked out in 70's style. Here's our wonderful team bulletin board at the beginning of our 2nd grade hallway:

I realize they're not the best pictures (since we have to do it around a curved wall), but you get the gist, right?! :) We were going for a little Charlie's Angels silhouette, but we had to make 6 instead of 3, for our SIX classes. That's right! This year, we have SIX 2nd grade teachers! And, of course, we replaced the guns in the hands with classroom supplies....paint, paper, scissors, glue, etc.

Hello Friends! My name is Jillian, and I have been teaching 2nd grade for 4 years now! I am also a tutor "after hours", so I've come to learn many tricks of the trade with the wide range of kiddos that I work with! I love to "tinker around" alot-- playing on the computer while creating useful resources is kind of my thing! Nothing brings me more joy than to produce something fun and beneficial for the students I work with! So take a seat, read some posts, and stay a while. I'd love for you to even "follow me" to make sure you don't miss any new posts, too! :)
